Wind Synth Eurorack Demo

Jeff Hopkins

"Alright... putting together my first Eurorack setup.... These Fricko modules are amazing. Here's a short demo, with a saxy-ish patch.

00:00 - Start of demo
00:48 - Low register demo
01:13 - Mid/highish register demo
01:36 - Talk through of the setup

From left to right I have:
-OWP Custom module (instrument interface and power)
-Tiptop Audio MISO (Mix Invert Scale and Offset) utility
-Fricko Blip! (Pulse waveshaper)
-Fricko Shell (odd harmonic waveshaper thing)
-Pitsburgh SV-1b (Oscillators, Filter, mixer etc)
-Fricko Splice (Filtered combiner, takes highs from one source and mixes with low from the other)"

Impressive! Some additional notes:

* it uses his non-MIDI analog wind controller (very smooth!)
* it explains his rig
* it use my Fricko modules so the emphasis is on the cohesive variation of tone over the range of notes:

# Blip! waveshaper (constant breadth waves, like Variophon),
# Shell wavershaper (gappy waveshapes whose harmonics don't monotonically decrease in level),
# Splice combiner (36db/8ve reverse crossover, to give effect found in many wind instruments).

Arcaico Instruments

"Kairos is analogue hybrid that reproduces the classic vintage BBD/Echo tape delay with VCA integrated, delay tone control and a dedicated wet out. The delay time range goes from 0.05ms to 1.1sec.

Technical specifications:

VCA (with attenuator)
CV time control (with attenuator)
TONE control delay
WET dedicated out
LOOP function
FEEDBACK control

10 HP
50mm deep"

"Reverb in eurorack format inspired by the infamous Reverberation Machine, built in THT technology with passive welded 'point-to-point' components, characterized by a VCA input and a post reverb distortion.

The input section is controlled by an integrated VCA. The TONE switch darkens or lightens the signal. The Decay, controlled in CV, through LDR resistor allows to create a large reverb: increasing the Decay to maximum level the feedback extends to infinity. The GAIN control allows to saturate the post-reverb signal. The RAVE button short-circuits the IN and OUT of the module, so as to obtain an infinite and self-regenerative feedback, creating auto-oscillation of the effect."

MFOS Modular system Demo

Luc Debeck

"Mfos Modular system is custom built system inspired by Music from outer space technology. I used the Kenton Pro Solo MK3 and Ableton Live."

Analog Vintage Synth Collection used as beatbox (no talking)

coyotesynth

"Arturia Keystep Pro sequences Pro One, Minimoog Model D, Arp Odyssey, Dominion 1, Hypersynth Xenophone, Vermona '14, to make a hi-end beatbox and arpeggiated sounds."
